look man, it's fun to swing around and beat up dudes.. but i don't know how much more of the constant chatter and quipping i can take

love a lot of this game and it's bullshit, but i'm also very glad to be done with it lol. can't see myself coming back for a NG+ run any time soon.

i can make leon kennedy sing various nine inch nails songs, and that's pretty cool. bonus points for letting me just whip out these songs in the battle royale mode too.

more like Tomodachi Lite, amirite??

not really any reason to go back and play this over the 3DS one, but i do think it has a good amount of it's own charm that makes it worth checking out at the very least!

i love looking at this game. very pretty :0)

you are all little haters this game is FINE!!! like yes, it is very clearly imperfect and a bit of a rush job... but also it is very nice kind of mindless fun and i get to play dress up with lucy :)

this game is like, weirdly chill to me. i've had a lot of fun hanging out with my boyfriend and others for sure, but i also keep finding myself going in solo with some mods installed and just soaking up the atmosphere. idk what it is about it, but roaming the various abandoned buildings and hanging out in the ship on my own just feels oddly... therapeutic? clearly there is something wrong with me.

Curse these games and their ability to make me cry during the ending cutscenes.

Phenomenal game, and such a step up from Y7 in a lot of ways. I have some gripes with the storytelling, I feel like it sort of loses focus at a point... but still, everything comes together nicely by the end so it's hard to be too upset about it. Other than that, this is probably the best title in the series to date.

Now, can we please let this studio make a fully fledged tycoon / management game? Dondoko was far more fun than it had any right to be!!

honestly its fucking shit but i'm glad it's doing well because it's really funny seeing pokemon fans get this heated

I dunno, I think theirs something here. I was honestly having fun with it for a bit, jank and all, but it just gets so repetitive. Running down the same tight hallways over and over to shoot the same handful of enemy types... Once I was a couple chapters into Ryuji's part I felt like I had seen enough.

Also god, the translations for these games used to be fucking rough huh?

Fun fact! I bought this shortly after release and am only now finishing it, a little over two weeks before the release of Infinite Wealth!

Anyway yeah, this is a stellar 'One of These'. Like A Dragon knocks just about everything out of the park, from the brand new RPG gameplay to the substories to the side activities. Standing back and looking at it as a full package, this is without a doubt one of my favorite games in the series.

My only real issues with it stem from the sudden difficulty spike and need to grind near the tail end of the game. If you've played it, I'm sure you know exactly what I'm talking about. I was also a bit disappointed that Sotenbori and Kamurocho were so empty in comparison to Ijincho, but it's not like you really spend that much time there anyway so I can let it slide.

Story is great too, it's probably the most invested I've been in one since Zero. Anime bullshit aside (I still don't quite get the deal with Mirror Face lmao) it's super touching and I think Ichiban is the perfect kinda guy to carry a story like this, dude's got a lot of heart and is pretty much the perfect blend of silly and serious. I might even be as bold as to say I prefer him to Kiryu!!

Glad I finally took the time to play this the whole way through, and I'm incredibly excited to get my hands on the next one very soon!!

Unfortunately very 'Whatever'. I wouldn't say it's the worst game I've ever played, but it has enough annoying little quirks to it that I have zero interest in returning. Those boss fights are lame as hell!!

Conceptually awesome and I love The Vibes... but I also needed help getting a lot of the endings which kinda killed the fun of the whole thing.

Also, the more I've sat thinking on it the more I think the answer to the question in the title is kind of lame... sorry guys.

I love this game with all my heart and soul. I took a chance on it back when it launched in 2016 and I still find myself coming back to it now at the start of 2024. So incredibly happy that IOI were able to find success with this after all they were put through, and I'm so glad to finally see the whole trilogy wrapped up in one neat little package.

You owe it to yourself to play this, there's really no other stealth game like it.

I forgot this came out!! Glad I eventually found my way to it, such a comfortable little slice of Kiryu-flavoured pie that doesn't outstay its welcome and serves as a great reminder as to why I love these games so much after not having touched them in a little bit.
